以下是知名家具品牌Avenue Road与 Kim Lambert的对话，讨论了她的设计过程，她的灵感来源所在的城市以及她如何给作品留下持久的印象。
Well-known furniture brand Avenue Road chatted with Kim Lambert to discuss her design process, the cities she finds inspiration in, and how she leaves a lasting impression of her work.
AR：你的工作有什么决定性的品质吗?
KL：一种永恒的意识，同时又不失优雅地打破界限。
AR: Is there a defining quality to your work?
KL: An awareness of being timeless, while quietly pushing boundaries with grace.
AR：当你为私人客户设计一个空间时，你需要了解他们哪些信息才能为他们设计?
KL：我的客户目前如何使用该空间，以及他们希望如何使用该空间。最喜欢的纹理，色调，与之产生共鸣的地方或图像。
AR: When you’re designing a space for a private client, what information do you need to know about them in order to design a space for them?
KL: How my clients currently use the space – and how they hope to use the space. Favourite textures, palettes; places or images that resonate with them.
AR：一件家具或一件物品必须具备哪些品质才能让你产生共鸣?
KL：形式，功能，材料，纹理，细节处理的方式，也许最重要的是：整体的修饰质量，这就是给人留下持久印象的地方。
AR: What qualities must a piece of furniture or an object have to resonate with you?
KL: Form, function, material, texture, how details are addressed, and perhaps most important: the overall level of finishing quality – this is what leaves the lasting impression.
AR：你最喜欢家里的什么地方?
KL：我的前客厅。它舒适而诱人——光线很美，每天都在变化——从这里可以俯瞰我们市中心古老的绿树成荫的街道。
AR: What’s your favourite space in your own home?
KL: My front sitting room. It is comfortable and inviting – and the light is beautiful, changing throughout the day – with a view overlooking our old, mid-town tree-lined street.
AR：地方感在你的工作中起什么作用？沿海和城市？
KL：地方感决定了整体氛围。例如，周末度假和城市住宅可能共享绿洲的感觉，但功能的优先级、材料的选择、纹理和细节可能会有所不同。
AR: How does sense of place play a role in your work? Coastal vs. Urban?
KL: A sense of place sets the overall vibe. For example, a weekend retreat and a city home may share a sense of oasis – but priority of functions, selections of materials, textures and pieces may vary.
AR：你最欣赏哪个城市的建筑风格?
KL：可能是在伦敦和安达卢西亚、西班牙和摩洛哥这两个城市之间徘徊——我对旧世界的细节很着迷，但对当代建筑的新材料、线条和形式，以及时代和精神之间的对话很感兴趣。我被一种植根于摩尔语的异国情调所吸引——形式、模式、材料、调色板——设置在宏大的空间和柔和的背景中。
AR: What city (or cities) do you admire most for their architectural qualities?
KL: Probably a toss between London and the cities of Andalusia Spain and Morocco – I’m a sucker for old-world details, but passionate about new materials, line and form in contemporary architecture, that dialogue between eras and ethos. I’m intrigued by an exotic travelled vibe rooted in Moorish language – forms, patterns, materials, palettes – set within grand spaces and muted backdrops.
AR：最后一件激发你灵感的事情是什么？
KL：公元前西海岸的神秘主义-与自然的真实联系。海洋，山脉和大自然是多么渺小啊——总有更大的东西在那里。
AR: What’s the last thing that inspired you?
KL: The mysticism of the BC West Coast — that honest connection with nature. How humbling the ocean, the mountains and the elements truly are — there is always something bigger out there.
